Liz Woodhouse Liz Woodhouse, as seen by Richard Ball, Motor Pool, U. S. Embassy, Moscow Russia, late 1991/early 1992. (Hair isn't buzzed anymore. Glasses are the same. Still use the coat in winter - don't sleep under it very often anymore, though.)

Known on the newsgroups as just "Liz."

(Actually, better known as Liz, the Goddess of Paradox) (I didn't write that part... Of course, I didn't delete it either... <g>)

Chapter 4: How Paradox Chose Liz The Third Time

After being laid off, I soaked the company for a bit of money and some Paradox software (hey, they said they weren't gonna use it anymore) in exchange for training one of their foreign offices on localizing Lotus Notes databases (guess they never considered that I was the only one left who knew how to do this <eg>). And I started looking for a new job.

I searched high and low for another Paradox job (don't know why I didn't consider inquiring on the newsgroups), but didn't find one. So in February of 1999, I accepted what was basically a tech support job at a large-scale cookie manufacturer. The cookies were good, the brownies were better, but tech support was not what I wanted to be doing.

Then, in late March (I think) of 1999, someone I'd worked with at the localization company called me and told me they were looking for another Paradox developer! I went through the interview process, landed the job, and I'm still there.

The best thing about this job is that I get to use the Corel Web Server OCX and Paradox to create and run the data-aware section of the company's web site. Designing for the web is different than designing for a LAN, and the challenges make things fun and interesting. With luck, I'll get to add a lot more functionality to the site.

Oh, I also get to have some of my photos hanging on the gallery walls (the bottom floor of the office is also an art gallery), once the new addition to the building is complete.
